Michael Mancienne was blocked off as he tried to challenge Martinez for the header

The Manchester United striker struck with two minutes left to give Stuart Pearce’s side a vital point at the start to this tournament.

Real Zaragoza midfielder Ander Herrera is no Diego Maradona, but earlier he showed he knows how to get his hands dirty.

Herrera used his right hand as much as his head to score Spain’s 13th-minute opening goal from a corner to stun the Young Lions.

Just like Maradona in that infamous World Cup win over England by Argentina in 1986, he got away with it. Swedish referee Markus Strombergsson missed it and so did his officials as Pearce’s side were left with a mountain to climb in their Group B opener.

England went into the game with a point to prove after being accused of lacking the technique to beat the pre-tournament favourites.
